Mi Noche Triste

My Sad Night

Mi Noche Triste

Lady who left me in the best of my lifePercanta que me amuraste en lo mejor de mi vida
Leaving my soul wounded and a thorn in my heartDejándome el alma herida y espina en el corazón
Knowing that I loved you, that you were my joySabiendo que te quería, que vos eras mi alegría
And my scorching groundY mi suelo abrasador
There is no comfort for me anymore and that's why I get drunkPara mi ya no hay consuelo y por eso me embriago
To forget your lovePa olvidarme de tu amor

When I go to my little place and see it in disarrayCuando voy a mi cotorro y lo veo desareglado
All sad, abandoned, it makes me want to cryTodo triste, abandonado, me dan ganas de llorar
And I spend a long time gazing at your portraitY me paso largo rato campaneando tu retrato
To try to console myselfPa poderme consolar

At night when I lie down, I can't close the doorDe noche cuando me acuesto, no puedo cerrar la puerta
Because leaving it open I delude myself that you're coming backPorque dejándola abierta me hago ilusión que volves
I always bring biscuits to have with little sips of mateSiempre traigo bizcochitos pa tomar con matecitos
Like when you were hereComo cuando estabas vos

And if you could see how the bed gets upsetY si vieras la cama como se pone cabrera
When it doesn't see both of usCuando no nos ve a los dos
There are no longer those pretty little bottles on the dresserYa no hay en el buln aquellos lindos frasquitos
Adorned with ribbons all of the same colorAdornados con moitos todos de un mismo color
And the mirror is fogged as if it has criedY el espejo esta empapado si parece que ha llorado
Due to the absence of your lovePor la ausencia de tu amor

The guitar in the closet is still hangingLa guitarra en el ropero todavía esta colgada
No one sings in it or makes its strings vibrateNadie en ella canta nada ni hace sus cuerdas vibrar
And the lamp in the room has also felt your absenceY la lámpara del cuarto también tu ausencia ha sentido
Because its light has not wanted to illuminate My sad nightPor que su luz no ha querido Mi noche triste alumbrar
